Report from LDR
Masterton District Council [MDC] documents have revealed closed-doors discussions on demolishing the town’s earthquake-prone civic centre and constructing a new multi-purpose building on public-owned land currently occupied by the historic War Memorial Stadium.
Documents released under official information legislation show MDC has investigated the demolition of the home of the Golden Shears when considering options for a new civic centre. The discussions were part of the preamble to MDC’s long term plan consultation “Stepping Up For Our Mokopuna”.
The consultation called for residents’ ideas on the proposals for improvements to the town centre, and a new multi-purpose facility to replace the town hall.
